Masks and Treatments

Along with my regular skincare routine, I love incorporating masks and treatments into my regimen. I typically do a face mask at least once a week. These are some of my favourite face masks, whether it be for hydrating dry spots, dealing with hyper pigmentation and acne scars, or calming breakouts.

• Biore Deep Cleansing Pore Strips: These are a staple in my beauty regimen. I always have them on hand. There's something so satisfying about seeing all the gunk that has just come off of your face.. These are also great because they're available almost everywhere for very cheap!
• LUSH Fresh Face Masks: These are another staple. They all suit different skin types and conditions, so there's a different one for everyone. However, some of my favourites are: Brazened Honey, Cosmetic Warrior (smells disgusting but it works), Catastrophe Cosmetic and of course Cupcake. I store these in the freezer so they last even longer!
• Sephora Collection Face Mask: I love these paper masks, they're so fun to take selfies in! But like the LUSH ones, they also have different ones for different purpose. My favourites are: Green Tea, Pearl, and Rose.
• REN Glycol Lactic Radiance Renewal Mask: I love this mask because it makes my skin more radiant and clear. It's good for acne scarring and blemishes and evening skin tone.
• GLAMGLOW Youthmud Tinglexfoliant Treatment: This one is probably the most pricey on my list, but definitely worth it in my opinion. This is one of few products where I've noticed a difference immediately after using it. My skin feels fresher and newer and I will continue to repurchase but use sparingly!
• Josie Maran Argan Oil: I love this because it's so multifunctional. I'm sure you've heard many people preach their love for it, so I won't blab on too much and just say it's definitely a staple and I recommend everyone to own it.
• Origins Super Spot Remover: This treatment is all around the beauty community, and the name speaks for itself. If I see a spot, I put this treatment on it before bed and after my skincare routine, and it aids in drying out the spot. It is fairly drying, which is why I wouldn't recommend it daily, but it gets the trick done.

GLAMGLOW mask

Recently I was sent a sample of the luxurious celebrity cult face mask, GLAMGLOW.

GLAMGLOW was founded in 2010 exclusively for the entertainment and fashion industries. It became a celebrity favourite and only recently has been made available to the public. That being said, it is a very high-end mask and retails for 69$ USD, or you can purchase samples for 11.95$.

It was designed as a 10-minutes facial in a jar for immediate camera-ready skin. The mud base originates from the France Mediterranean Sea, and the moisturizing collagen synthesis is for men and women. Recommended for use a couple of times a week, or just whenever you need "GLAM-tastic skin".

Some of the impressive ingredients in the mask

Upon the initial application the mask went on very dark and muddy, as anticipated. It was very easy to apply and there was no discomfort whatsoever. 

It was fun to watch it slowly dry, as you can see by the dots - my roommate joked that I looked like a cow! hahah.

Overall, I really liked this mask. You could feel the luxury of it and my peers noticed my glowing skin the next day, and I recieved plenty of compliments! As it is a bit pricey as face masks go, I would definitely recommend purchasing the sample first, then the tub for a nice treat for your skin! For me, it was definitely worth the hefty price tag. 

GLAMGLOW retails at Sephora, SpaceNK, Neiman Marcus, Nordstrum, Selfridges and Harrods.
